Tooth-colored fillings
There are different types of dental fillings we can use to repair cavities and protect your child’s teeth! Tooth-colored fillings, such as composite and glass ionomer, blend in with the natural tooth or provide a more subtle appearance. Composite fillings are durable and designed to match your child’s tooth color, while glass ionomer fillings release fluoride to help protect against further decay and can be a great option for certain baby teeth. Silver fillings, known as amalgam, are made from a mixture of metals and have been used for many years to restore teeth. The best filling material depends on the size and location of the cavity, your child’s age, and their individual needs. We’ll help you choose the option that best supports your child’s healthy smile!
